like this. I'll try to reconstruct the
ritual of Opening Day for you, and
perhaps you will see for yourself.

I BOX 390 I
Editor, Ath;ance-Times,
Dear sir:
In the daily press of Saturday,
April 8, in Western Ontario a story
of the Regional 'Public Health of-
ficers of Oxford, Huron and Kent
Counties was reported "Church
Food ,Handling Laws Urged by
Health Officials."
In 1949 I was reeve, of. Howick
Township -in Huron County and a
member of the Huron County
Council. At that time a proposed
by-law was presented to Huron
County Council that would have
given authority to the Health
officials to license all church, fra-
ternal societiteS and community
clubs and thereby give the officials
of the Health units in the county
authority to inspect kitchens and
food to be served at banquets, fowl
suppers, garden parties, etc.
At that time I well recall speak-
ing in County Council against the
proposed by-law, which Wasn't
passed, I said, "It is an insult to
the good judgment of the women of
Huron County to even think of
passing such 6, bylaw. There never
has been, to my knowledge, any
bad results from such meals being
served and there is not likely to be
in the future."
That was 12 years ago and I
believe that statement is as true
today •as it was, then. That being
true, why even consider having
such legislation placed on the
statute books of the Province of
Ontario. It seems to ine that such
a, law is only trying to justify the
importance of the positions of some
officials.
These ladies who serve and cater
to many groups and organisations,
to raise funds for church and
charitable purposes are doing a
Wonderful service in their tespec.
tiVe communities, They represent ▪ community and Christian spirit
all too lacking in our world today,
so why try* and discourage their
efforts. There is on doubt their tit-
ellitiOs and food would pass inapec.
tlon but just the thought of haying
someone snooping arouod and per-
forming an act that is absolutely
riot necessary,

man you saw and embracing her

What you do is start driving
into the country about three weeks
before Opening Day. Every time
you see running water you stop.
You drag your wife out of the ear
and eagerly exhort her to "just
look at that water!"
All she can see, poor soul, is a
muddy little stream. But you know
perfectly well that that hole below
the bridge is boiling with speckled.
And' you will bet any amount that
there is at least one huge rain-
bow, or maybe a pair, lurking be-
hand that big log which you are
sure 'would be there if only the
water were clear,
the country and spot all the places
where the 'trout are as thick as
flies, This saves a lot of time on
Opening Day, And of course, you
keep it to yourself. You don't want
a whole crowd of those fellows
from the city jammed around you
while you're catching your limit,
The night before Opening Day,
,for the fisherman, is like the night
before her first big dance, for a
'maiden. The air is electric with
excitement. 'And while you're get-
you're all set,
And no,. they can't stay a minute,
because we have to get up by four,
so we'll be right at the hoot at first
light—well, maybe a short one, and
make it light. 'And first thing you
know it's 3 a;ut. and you' haven't
started looking for your waders. ....
...,Three hours later, you totter out
of the house, feeling -as though
you'd 'been clubbed.. But the cold
air hits you and your savage,
primitive instinct begins to surge
again. And you sneer down the
street at 'the 'darkened houses of all
the little, soft people who are still
in bed.
And you race for the stream,
blood pounding, through 'the raw,
dark morning. With the heater on
high. And you slip up that back
road and park a quarter mile from

Things are tough all over. Unem-

Canada, The Laos situation is con-
fused, The blacks are rising in An-
gala. And there's hell to pay in
Cuba. And do you know some-
thing? I don't give a diddle.
Normally, these circumstances
would be of the utmost concern to
me, But at the moment, I couldn't
care less. Let them all go to it. I'm
too busy getting ready for Opening
Day.
To the non-fisherman, this may
seem puerile and irresponsible. But

thousand trout. In the process, they
:alienate their wives, catch, more

During the winter, this urge

looks and acts like any honest
citizen. He is no more fiery than
the trout itself, buried in- mud at
the bottom of a stream, sleeping
the winter away.
But when the raw winds of April
blow, and the ice breaks up, look
out, The rainbow swarms up the
streams, to spawn. The lovely
speckled' darts. The voracious
brown prowls. And within the fish-

primitive stirs and calls. By Open-

During the past fifteen years big"
business in this province has poured
out millions upon millions of dollars
to develop new business . . most of
which has been channeled into efforts
directed at the mass market in Ham-
ilton - Toronto - Oshawa industrial
belt. Reasoning that where there are
more people there are bound to be
'more sales possibilities, new store
buildings and: vast advertising cam
paigns have become the rule for the
metropolitan area.
None could blame the business-
man for seeking to get all the pos-
sible business out of these growing
areas, but there is sonic evidence
that he was misguided in his think-
ing,.
Last week we had an interesting
conversation with an advertising ex-
pert in New York, who referred to
this single-minded approach to mo-
dern business as a great mistake.
He pointed out the fact that Ameri-
can car manufacturers had. concen-
trated their sales efforts on the
centres of heavy population in the
U.S. However, taking New York as
an example, he said that 52 per cent
of the people in New York don't own
an automobile and never will, be-
cause garage space is so hard and
expensive to secure. The same is
true of electric stoves and washing
machines because thousands of city
dwellers live in apartments too small
to contain these luxuries -
He went on to say, that many big
businesses are beginning to realize
that the more sparsely settled areas
throughout the nation have an equal-
ly great potential for new business.
In fact the rural buyer is in reality
a better prospect for he does not
.have to devote such. a high percent-
age of his income to th e' basic re-
quirements of housing and transpor-
tation.
The fact that rural communities
such as ours have developed more
slowly than the cities is clue in some
measure to the concentration of big-
business on the City customer. Npw
that times are not quite so rosy
many of the larger firms are begin-
ning to cast farther afield in order
to keep sales levels where they want
them—and they are finding the rural
customer just what he h as always
been, a solid, prosperous consumer
of the same goods which have been
poured into the cities so prolifically.
Another aspect which seems to be
new to the big .fdlows is that rural
people do not suffer in the same

Another good sign Demand for

degree when the economy of the na-

unemployment in our part of the
province, but not to the same critical
degree that is true in the bigger
places. The number of business
failures is relatively much smaller.
In short, we are good customers,
Only a few weeks ago a chain
store executive told us that his com-
pany is now planning to modernize
its stores in the rural areas •— after
15 years. and 'many millions of dol-
lars spent on the city markets.
Sometimes it is just a little
annoying to find that our buying
dollars can so easily be forgotten in
the good times and so eagerly sought
when things get rough, It reminds
us of the bragging son of an old
friend who used to roll in from the
city in his new car and languidly tell
about all the money he was making.
That was Just before the big depres-
sion. He spent the next five years
at home, living on the incon-le of his
hard -working small town father.
EXTRA SCHOOLING
PAYS
high school students, says the
Glengarry News, have .started the
last - term of the present year and
their approach to it may spell the
difference between success and fail-
ure in the June examinations.
Promotion to a higher grade
carries the encouragement to spend
at least another year in school,
.Failure -often results in an early end
of education, especially in , the case
of boys, who may be anxious to quit
the classroom for a job.
But jobs are not as easy to find
in these days of high unemployment
.and it is becoming ever more evi-
dent that the higher one's education,
the more certain it is that one will
find and keep a good-paying job.
More than 65 per' cent of the peren-
nially unemployed, it is estimated,
have no more than a grade school
'education and have not learned , a
trade. College graduates are seldom,
if ever, without employment.
Parents who are worried about
the school record of their teen-agers,
or who are having trouble keeping
them in school might be well advised
to take the dollar and cents approach
in arguing the need for higher edu-
cation. They might quote these
statistics from an Institute of Life
Insurance Study to convince Bill or
Jane that higher education pays rich
dividends.
"Every year of high school adds
.$16,000 to lifetime earning-s, Each
year of college . adds an extra
$25,000 to these earnings.
"The man whose education' ends
with public school' will make, on an
average $178,000 in his 40 years or
so of work. The high school (gradu-
ate will earn $243,000 during his
workino-
b
life—and the man with a
college degree will make, on average,
over ''$347,000..
That is not a few dollars in the
jeans today;. hut a college degree
looms large over the long grind
when it may mean an extra $170,000
in an average lifetime.
The embattled parent might also
quote Kart R. Swinton, president of
Encyclopaedia Britannica of Canada,
who recently pointeil out that, two-
thirds of those unemployed today
have no more than an elementary
School education.
With rapid change on. the tech-
nological front, it is obvious that the
jobs will go, more and more, to those
with skills and training.
Parents- and others able to influ-
ence the youngsters should, Swin-
ton says, point out the practical ad-
vantages m job advancement that
accrue with •ethication----and remind
the teen-agers that most of the un-
employed working force left school
at an early age.
There is also a moral. here for
the parent who is reluctant to lay out
tt thousand or so a year to see his
youngster through university. a
degree can give a $100,000 advatt-
tage in earning power over a life-
time, then most sacrifices are worth
the itaking.
